Youth Allegedly Attacks Mother with Cleaver in Nuh Over Her Relationship
In a shocking incident that has sent ripples through the community, a 20-year-old youth allegedly attacked his mother with a cleaver in the Pingwan area of Nuh on Monday. The attack, driven by anger over the woman's relationship with another man, has highlighted deep-seated family tensions and sparked a police investigation.
Details of the Violent Confrontation
According to police reports, the youth, identified as the eldest among five siblings, tracked his 42-year-old mother to a rented accommodation in Nuh's Bhatt Colony. The woman, originally from Hathin in Palwal, had allegedly eloped with another man a few days prior and had been residing with him at this location for approximately three weeks. This move reportedly caused significant resentment among her family members, particularly her eldest son.
In the afternoon, the son entered the rented house and, in a fit of rage, attacked his mother's hands and feet with the sharp-edged weapon. Sources indicate that he allegedly tied her to a cot before escaping the scene. The violent assault was reportedly premeditated, stemming from the ongoing family dispute regarding the victim's personal choices.
Community Response and Police Action
Local residents were alerted by the woman's screams and rushed to the house, prompting the son to flee before he could be apprehended. The critically injured woman was immediately taken to a government hospital by locals, where she was reported to be in stable condition.
After being informed, local police reached the spot and initiated an investigation. DCP Jitender Kumar stated, "Appropriate action will be taken after recording the statement of the victim." However, as of the filing of the report, no formal case had been registered because the victim "was not ready to give a statement" against her son, according to a police officer speaking on condition of anonymity.
Ongoing Investigation and Family Dynamics
Preliminary findings suggest that the attack was a calculated act born out of prolonged family discord. A police officer involved in the case noted, "Raids are being conducted to trace the accused. The situation escalated when the eldest son located his mother at her new residence, armed with the sharp knife."
The incident underscores the complex interplay of traditional family expectations and personal autonomy in contemporary society. The woman's decision to pursue a new relationship, while a personal choice, triggered violent backlash from her eldest son, revealing underlying tensions that may be prevalent in many households.
As the investigation continues, authorities are focusing on gathering evidence and encouraging the victim to provide a formal statement. The community remains on edge, with many calling for swift justice and greater awareness about resolving family disputes through non-violent means.
